i had the wonderful opportunity to get my hands on the brand new dji
rs3 pro but before i say too much let's look at some test
can it footage work in the air it's starting to start gotta go
in this review i'm not going through every feature instead i'm going to share my first hand
experience of real world use and talk about some of my favorite improvements full transparency this
video is sponsored by dji but in no way does it change my opinion this gimbal is freaking amazing
i've been using the original ronin-s for the longest time now so upgrading to the rs3 pro is
truly a game changer it would be a crime not to mention the auto lock feature with the press of
a button the gimbal automatically locks the arms into place and you have the option of taking it
to center lock or to folding lock using the third generation stabilization algorithm i
can confidently say that this is the smoothest gimbal i've ever used for both projects i just
used my legs to move around except for one scene where i filmed from the back of a scooter but more
about that later the rs3 pro is much more than a stabilizer it's an expansion platform the biggest
upgrade here is the dji transmission mission system first introduced with the ronin 4d
now you're able to use it with the RS3 with any camera the receiver attaches to the bottom
of the camera mount and wirelessly communicates with the hybrid monitor
a 7-inch wide gamut touchscreen with an output of 1500 nits with end to end ultra low latency
the feed is extremely clean with exceptional long range performance and anti-interference unmatched
by conventional transmitters this integrated system gives you an immense amount of control
from focus pulling to movements like fan and tools and you can even go as far as control
your mirrorless camera menu using the mirror mode on the touchscreen back to the scooter shot
i wanted to capture some telephoto tracking shots so i slapped on a 70-200 mm zoomed to
the long end with the rider going up and down a shot like this it would be
extremely difficult to keep in frame but having a second camera operator on the remote monitor
means i could just focus on keeping the gimbal still a huge thank you to my mate reilin joey
for joining me on this project this guy is insanely talented so go show him some love
one of my favorite upgrades is the extension of the carbon fiber arms making it easy to shoot
with bigger camera systems like an fx6 without the possibility of hitting the arms i wanted to
test out the lidar autofocus system on manual lenses so i paired up with my buddy sjoerd wess
who happens to own a whole set of vintage leica lenses sjoerd's not only an amazing D but also
a brilliant educator with a youtube channel jam-packed with valuable filmmaking tutorials
the focus motor is easy to set up and i have to say i'm finally seeing a future for auto focus
on manual lenses shoot also pulled focus using the monitor which meant i could just concentrate
on the movement the touchscreen on the gimbal also received a massive upgrade now you have a 1.8 inch
full color oled display that enables you to select focus and enable active track
without using the app also added is a physical switch just for modes which makes it easy to
jump between band follow band tilt follow and fpv mode who is this gimbal for the pro version
only comes to its full right when you have an extra set of hands like a first ac to pull focus
or director to help with performance and framing for users shooting on mirrorless cameras with
autofocus lenses the focus motor might stay in the bag more often than not but having remote control
over a manual lens is invaluable especially when it's integrated into the ecosystem if
you're still on the first gen gimbals and you've been waiting for a new release i'm happy to say
that you will not be disappointed if you have any more questions let me know in the comments below
and i'll do my best to answer thanks so much for watching and i'll see you in the next one
